Well this is not as dramatic as the Veterans Stadium implosion. Maybe because a wrecking ball decking a few walls and windows is not as dramatic as a whole stadium imploding at once. Maybe it's because the Spectrum has in effect been dead for a couple years now. Yesterday it was an empty building that had not been relevant for a few years now. Today, it is a building with some odd looking holes in it. The Flyers and the Sixers have been playing in the "Wells Fargo whatever-it's-called Center" since 1996, around the exact same time that I started the 1st grade. As much as I want to have these warm fuzzy feelings associated with watching the Flyers and the Sixers play there, I instead have these warm fuzzy feelings of watching the Phantoms and the Soul play there. Yes. American League Hockey and Arena Football FTW! So goodbye old building where I used to sit in the front row of minor league hockey games with my best friend in elementary school. You will be missed.
Goodbye, Spectrum.
